Subscribe to Starting a business Can old dogs teach new tricks?

I doubt it..... because, they're just old dogs - not teachers.

But, sometimes, you can get inspiration from old dogs that may spark ideas for you to create new tricks.

Would anyone like to attend a learning event hosted by an old dog titled: "You don't know, what you don't know. When you do, its too late."?

    Interesting topic, depends on what someone could get out of it.

    Kim... I've learned in life that ... What you get out of anything is in direct proportion to what you put into it. You never know until you give first.

    Aw yes... but are your curious enough to attend with no more information?

    Howard: The question I have for you is: Can old dogs learn new tricks. If what I don't know is irrelevant, I really don't care. Nevertheless, since I want to keep learning new tricks (I am an old dog) when and where is the event?

    Jim.. Definitely yes, old dogs CAN learn new tricks. You only know if it's relevant AFTER you learn it and then it is usually too late to benefit from it. The event will be scheduled if I ever find enough young puppies that are interested enough to want some inspiration from an old dog. But, if history is our guide, this event will probably end up just being a bunch of old dogs like us sharing stories of of "what could have been", while all the young puppies continue doing what we did to learn the lessons the hard way. Thank you for your comment. ...Howard
